It is a new home for all the original video content, which will directly be produced by its partners. For now, there are few people who are US based will be able to watch it. Soon, we all will be watching enormous original videos.

The exclusive partners who will be producing the content will get 55% of ad break revenue share whereas Facebook will keep 45%. To generate more of ad revenue, the team has planned to release “Watch” features as personalized recommendations of live and recorded shows.

Users who have will witness a TV-shaped icon in the bottom or top of the navigation bar (depending on the smartphone) in the main Facebook’s application.

Initially, Facebook will run some funded shows which are only a small portion of all the available shows.
